/Spawn command

[Laithes]

The /spawn command currently causes nothing but abuse/noob-ish use. A lot of people use it to avoid PvP and mobs, therefore the cool-down either needs to be lengthened to around 10 minutes or removed entirely.

Hey Laithes. This is a tricky one to tackle as if someone runs in and dies outside of spawn then resurrects at their faction home, they practically have a 10minute period doing nothing. And if they don't die by a player but to a mob they wont have a chance to retrieve the gear they lost.

What is exactly happening currently? Would an extended Cast time help?

Well, if we get into chases and a person gets far enough ahead to have enough time to /spawn but not enough distance to /f home. Also, people will run out of spawn, kill someone and then /f home. And if you want to get to spawn more quickly, buy a stargate.

 

[Dannie]

Hmm.. I might increase the cast time by a couple of seconds as a trial and see how that goes.

 

[Aggravate]

Can't you restrict it's use near spawn?

 

[Cub_Nake]

Make it a 12 second cast time. I'm sure that will be long enough to stop abuse and not so long that people get bored/annoyed

Probably not, unless theres another plugin that does this.

12seconds seems a long time.

 

[Cub_Nake]

Good that it's a long time. Makes it near impossible to escape. If you're in your base, you have time.

 

[Laithes]

Well, if you get rid of the command entirely, it creates an incentive to either rack up enough cash to buy a stargate or pay to become a tier 2 donator to get a"free" stargate.

I completely and utterly DISAGREE.



I understand when it comes to PvP avoid, but there is absolutely no need for a 10 minute cool down.



The only change I will agree with is adding a 5 second casting period. (5 seconds after you type /spawn, you are teleported).

Also, /F home being remove / editted isn't an option. If you can't keep up with someone running to get the chance to type /spawn and wait a 5-10 second cast, then it's on you, not them.

/f home is instant. Just sayin'

 

[Johnyboy678]

Yeah Like I said it isn't meant to be removed or editted, it's a faction priveledge.
